Here I am again today with another healthy Paleo recipe!………….. Just kidding 😉 Today’s recipe is definitely not Paleo, but hey—everyone deserves a splurge every once in awhile. These cookies are actually not for me, but are being packaged up & sent away to someone very special to me… my little brother! My brother, Alex, just moved about 5 hours away for college. It’s a bittersweet feeling… I’m sad that we…
I love playing with makeup & doing fun colors & dramatic eye looks, but let’s get real….. “ain’t nobody got time for that” on a busy morning! I save the fun makeup for special occasions (when I actually do have time) & stick to a basic routine on “normal” days.

Let me know what you guys think, & if there is anywhere in particular you would like me to post about! Shopping is a very personal thing, especially when…
I absolutely LOVE salmon. If I didn’t stop myself, I would eat it every single night. My dad & brother made a few salmon-fishing trips to Alaska when I lived at home, so there was always a stockpile of wild salmon in the freezer.
